good morning vietnam - By: A. Duffy, 15 Jul 2008 
the reviews next to the item I purchased are not applicable to this disc. There is no original soundtrack & Robin Williams is not on it nor are most of the original songs!
Like listening to Armed Forces Radio all over again... - By: , 28 Jul 2004 
The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of "Good Morning, Vietnam" is exactly what you would expect it to be, a combination of Robin William's maniacal spiels as DJ Adrian Cronauer & some great music from the Sixties. The result is something not too far removed from what it would have been like to listen to Armed Forces Radioin the 'Nam way back when. The only thing missing are the announcements for staff sergeant so-and-so to checkin with his command post A.S.A.P. The songs included here are not exactly what you would classify as anti-war songs, although certainly there is something ironic about "Nowhere to Run," "Liar, Liar" & "What a Wonderful World"in the context of the Vietnam War. There is also a nice mixture of big names, such as James Brown & the Beach Boys, with lesser known artists, like The Searchers, The Rivieras & Them. This actually gives this album a nice sense of authenticity because these are not wall to wall classic hits like we had with the "Forrest Gump" soundtrack. Of course you are going to get tired of William's comedy long before you want to stop listening to the music. The only question is when, but since we can program CDs to skip what we want, this is not going to be a major consideration. However, for all you Drew Carey fans, if you do not already have it, here are The Vogues doing "Five O'Clock World."
Good Album, But No Adrain Cronauer Voice Clips!!!! - By: , 25 Jun 2003 
Great album But Wasnt The Version I Was Looking For. I used To Have On Tape (Which I Cant Find Anymore) The Soundtrack. That Version Had Movie Clips Of Adrian Cronauer (Robin Williams) But This One Dosnt. So Before You Order If Its For The Funny Clips & The Great Music Then Dont Order This Version. But If Its For The Great Music Only Then This Is Superb. I Only Rated This 3 stars But If It Did Contain Said Voice Clips It Would have Been 5 For Sure. (",)
The Sound of the Film - By: , 21 Sep 2000 
This CD captures the essence of the film setin the 1960s & the music classics. With intermittent bursts of sounds of the film, it is the essential Good Morning Vietnam fan's piece of memoribilia. The music combined with the graphic memories, such as Robin Williams teaching the locals baseball, the bombing of the bar & twin radio clerks. It combines the good humour of the film, but reminds you of the waste of the Vietnam War.
